On the other hand Upkar Singh Sandhu said that he had “already said ‘good bye’ to the party on May 8, when Bhagwant Mann was appointed as state unit president by Arvind Kejriwal”.

He said that people had put their faith in Aam Aadmi Party for changing the system but Arvind Kejriwal led party was no different than the other political parties. He alleged that Bhagwan Mann was a habitual drinker and entrusting him to lead state unit would ruin the Aam Aadmi Party.

Upkar Singh Sandhu was AAP candidate for Amritsar Lok Sabha by election for which polling was held on February 04. He had lost the seat to Congress candidate Gurjit Singh Aujla.
